CHM question on TS 2003


Recommended Posts

Posted

On my other 2003 Terminal servers this link works:

\\servername\...\Online_Manuals.CHM::/UGAP30.pdf

 

This opens this pdf in adobe reader without issue. My new terminal server,

same OS same everything except for Adobe reader version and IE version, will

not open it at all. It has "Done" at the bottom and a blank page. What am I

missing? Is there a registry fix or what do I need to do for this to work on

my new server.

RE: CHM question on TS 2003

 

my guess would be a security issue within IE itself, especially if it is IE

7.0 on Server 2003.

It is indeed a security measure (introduced with a SP or patch by MS)

not to allow the execution of CHM files over the network. For details

and workarounds please consult the following MS KB articles:

 

You cannot open HTML Help files from Internet Explorer after you

install security update 896358 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B902225&x=15&y=19

 

You cannot open remote content by using the InfoTech protocol after

you install security update 896358, security update 840315, or Windows

Server 2003 Service Pack 1

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B896054&x=15&y=19

 

MS05-026: A vulnerability in HTML Help could allow remote code

execution

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B896358&x=7&y=11

 

I hope this helps.
